    Balmer's team just lost at home to the Sacramento Kings.
    And is behind by 14 to the Nuggets.

    The fear at this point is as ridiculous as always looking at the sky whenever you walk outside for fear of an object falling on your head.

    Lot easier to do in LA where you get players handed to you for dogshit.

    i think there were quite a few players moved who would have made a tangible difference to our playoff hopes this year. it might have hurt our long term salary books, but to just cut $ at the deadline and punt on this year.... ugh.

    even 5-6 games above .500 right now, and dame woulda been in legitimate MVP discussion.

    Yes. I was just texting back and forth with a buddy. He said, it’s sad that a guy that is so loyal to an organization and yet they don’t seem loyal in trying to put a team around him.

    Just like that, Dame in running for a scoring title. He’s at 32.2 ppg right now.

    dame might again. especially if there are more dumbass teams that don't trap him for entire halves or have their bigs drop in P&R.

    I'm not gonna lie, I kinda like the image I have of Dame making history and then going home and eating Ben and Jerry's with some silly house slippers on. It makes me laugh and that's because I'm fucking weird.

    Hey, you want to worry about everything that's out of your control and largely out of everyone's control, be my guest. You've got one of the best NBA players in history on your team and he should be playing at a high level for several more years. That puts us closer to a championship level team regardless of where we finish in the standings this year, because we have an absolute elite talent to start with.

    "But sure."

    While true, team record probably knocks him out unfortunately.

    Though, and it's a different sport entirely, King Felix won a Cy Young on a bad team so who the hell knows lol

    obviously, it's out of everyone's control. not sure what you're trying to convey.

    the one person who does have control is very much NOT motivated by doing right around the best thing that's ever happened to this franchise. that should bug more people than it seems like it is...
